About the role

The Personalization team makes deciding what to play next easier and more enjoyable for every listener. From Blend to Discover Weekly, we’re behind some of Spotify’s most-loved features. We built them by understanding the world of music and podcasts better than anyone else. Join us and you’ll keep millions of users listening by making great recommendations to each and every one of them.  
The Sessions Department within Personalization is building a portfolio of agentic and conversational products that define how hundreds of millions of people discover and experience audio, such as prompted Playlists or DJ, all powered by a single layer that understands music, culture, and the user’s taste
You'll join a team of four engineers actively building the agent and the strategy behind it. We work closely with the broader Sessions organization on one of the most highly-leveraged bets at Spotify right now: making it possible to have natural language conversation with Spotify across the entire app!
The team moves fast by staying hyper-focused: we pick a focused set of problems, ship new features to users weekly, and learn in the wild. We constantly dogfood our product and learn from users' data and feedback to find the most important next thing to build or improve, together.
